Aim
Programming and geostatistics for environmental data analysis will be introduced. Advantages of coding approaches are discussed, theory of coding and statistics covered and practical examples provided.
Content
Theoretical basics and practical examples of programming and geostatistics focused on application within remote sensing and GIS are covered. Basic functionality such as script structure, implementation, functions, loops as well as programming syntax using the R language are introduced. Moreover, statistical basics related to environmental analysis are covered ranging from spatial queries to spatial models, e.g. classification and regression.
Coding
Coding examples and individual work will be covered
Software
Various software programs will be used, but mainly OpenSource software such as R.
Techniques
Different techniques will be introduced and practically applied.
Content
The background and application of programming and statistics will be covered.
